Hi Nicole,
A couple of months back when Dan was in Australia, I was reading 
the "Dan fansites" pretty regularly (not lately though) and I can't 
put my finger on where I read it but the info was about the plot 
of "December Boys." Apparently the storyline (anyone who has the time 
to look at fansites these days or already knows what I am talking 
about feel free to fill in the blanks...) is about several orphans 
vying to be adopted. Dan's character being one of the older boys has 
sharply lessened chances and there is some kind of conflict. I am not 
saying he's an axe murderer, Nicole, just that this character seems to 
have more shadings of gray than the totally, wonderfully, sympathetic 
Harry. 
I will take a stab at finding some basis for what I remember. 
Jen D.
